Simply spicy pasta sauce

We've just come back from a few days in the very hot city of Rome (39 degrees C!) Inspired by the heat and all the delicious Italian food we ate, as well as an abundance of tomatoes in the greenhouse and some very red chillies on the kitchen window sill upon our return, we decided to put together a simple tomato pasta sauce. Our Italian friends in Rome gave us this very easy recipe and said that the essence of Italian food is simplicity. So here is our very simple spicy pasta sauce:

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 red chillies, finely choppped
6 large tomatoes, chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper


Method

1. Pour the olive oil into a pan and add the crushed garlic.
2. Cook on a medium heat until the garlic turns golden and then add the chillies.
3. After a couple of minutes add the chopped tomatoes.
4. Bring to a simmer and then cook for approximately 45 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
5.Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with your favourite pasta.
6. Bellissimo!
